Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0400578A2] A radiation beam used for selectively exposing a surface is moved ina helical path by means of two oscillating mirros vibrating about axes that are mutually perpendicular. By maintaining a constant product fo oscillating frequency and rotational oscillatory mirror deflection, the level of exposure can be made substantially constant.
